Description

This Rmd file will go through the various tributaries in our model and model the detection efficiency at the most downstream interrogation site in each. It will also address the changing distribution of active arrays over time, and determine when a) detections in the tributaries are impossible; b) when it is not possible to calculate detection efficiency in the tributary; and c) when the most downstream (closest to the confluence) site had significant changes in detection capability.

Note: Shelby calculated annual detection efficiencies for some years for the following 11 tributaries:

Summary

The 17 tributaries in our model can broadly be organized into multiple groups:

1) Tributaries where detection efficiencies can be estimated at a site near the mouth for some years

  • Asotin Creek (2011-)
  • Deschutes River (2013-2019)
  • Entiat River (2007-)
  • Fifteenmile Creek (2011-2019) - note river mouth array still active, but no upstream arrays active starting July 2019
  • Hood River (2015-). NOTE: river mouth site is active since 2012, but we have no detections at upstream sites until 2015
  • Tucannon River (2006-)
  • Umatilla River (2007-)
  • Wenatchee River (2010-)

2) Tributaries with a array on the mainstem, but a bit up from the mouth

  • Imnaha River (2011-) - at RKM 7 and 10
  • John Day River (2012-) - at RKM 32. NOTE: River mouth site active since 2007, but no detections at upstream sites until 2012.
  • Methow River - at RKM 3 (2009-2017); at RKM 8 (2017-)
  • Okanogan River (2013-) - at RKM 25
  • Walla Walla River - at RKM 9 and 10, then at RKM 5 starting in 2019
  • Yakima River (2005-) at RKM 76

3) Tributaries without anything close to a river mouth site, but plenty of others

  • Clearwater River
  • Salmon River

4) Tributaries that we should likely remove from the model given the paucity of arrays

  • Grande Ronde River

Note: The difference between those listed under (3) and those listed under (4) is just how many arrays there are. This shows up in the probabilities of movement from the mainstem to the tributaries for fish of that origin. For example:

  • Clearwater River from upstream of LGR: 0.303
  • Salmon River from upstream of LGR: 0.279
  • Grande Ronde from upstream of LGR: 0.084

Asotin Creek

Site overview

ACM PTAGIS

  • ACM - Asotin Creek near mouth is at RKM 1 of Asotin Creek; others are at RKM 5, 22, and 25
  • ACM start date 8/1/2011. Run year 11/12 and onwards can be seen in Asotin Creek
  • Other sites have start dates within a week in early August 2009. However, these all exist upstream of the Georges Creek confluence, which could be an issue.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

Yes - upgrade on 10/12/2018. At least two eras:

  1. 8/1/2011-10/11/2018 (potentially different starting 9/21/12, since two antennas were added to site on this date)
  2. 10/12/2018-present
ACM description from PTAGIS:

ACM is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site located near the mouth of Asotin Creek, a tributary of the Snake River. As of 10/12/2018 all previous components present at ACM have been replaced and upgraded. The site consists of 3 rows of antennas with each row containing two 20- foot HDPE antennae, installed in flat-plate configuration. Each antenna is powered by a Biomark IS1001 (ACN) and the ACNs are connected to a Biomark IS1001-MTS master controller. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The site is connected to grid power to charge the battery bank powering the detection system. A cellular modem is installed on site to provide remote communication and allow for automated data collection, however, only manual data collection from the IS1001-MTS will occur at ACM until further notice. Prior to the upgrade, the site consisted of six antennas powered by an FS1001M.

ACM operational history notes from PTAGIS
  1. Site down from March 19 - August 26, 2017
  2. Site down March 25-September 1, 2014
  3. Site down from March 26 - August 30, 2012. Two antennas were added to the site on September 21, 2012.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

No - single era. Note that the detection efficiencies for DRM calculated by Shelby in 13/14 and 14/15 are 47.0% (SE 4.7%) and 41.4% (SE 6.5%), respectively. No notes in operational history.

DRM description from PTAGIS:

In February-March 2013, two antenna arrays, arranged upstream- downstream from one another, were installed just upstream from the mouth of the Deschutes River in the west channel at Moody Island (rkm 0.46). This system is based on Biomark?s new IS1001-MTS Multiplexing Transceiver System. The arrays consist of 12-Biomark 20ft STOUT antennas, each controlled by a submersible IS1001 antenna control nodes. There are seven antennas in the upstream array and 60 feet downstream are five antennas in the downstream array. The IS1001 nodes are connected in series and they in turn are connected to an IS1001-Master Controller located adjacent to the array on the west bank of the Deschutes River. Diagnostic and tag detection data will be retrieved remotely using a Campbell Scientific CR1000 data logger and cell phone connection. The IS1001-MTS is capable of detecting FDX-B and HDX PIT tags. Site is no longer active.

DRM operational history notes from PTAGIS

Nothing of note.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

Appears to be a single era, despite 15 years of operation. However, from 2008-2011, there were large periods of time in which the site was not operational, and antennas were frequently replaced as they went down. Shelby calculated detection efficiencies for ENL starting in 09/10 - values are all basically within SE of each other above 90% (no significant year-to-year variation).

This site is located immediately upstream of Entiat, WA. The site is grid powered with a battery switcher and includes eight HDPE pipe-style antennas and IS1001 readers. The readers are connected to an IS1001-MC and satellite remote communications.

ENL operational history notes from PTAGIS
  1. 2008: April 16 - 18: data lost due to buffer overrun. May 25 - July 24: all antennae washed out. Sept. 8 - 24: no data due to MUX board failure.
  2. 2009: Jan. 7 - Mar. 7: all antennae washed out. May 26 - July 9: site not operational due to elevated flows.
  3. 2010: The site operated continually from January 1st until May 2, when elevated river discharge resulted in the operational loss of antenna #23. This was followed by the loss of antenna #22 on May 16, #21 on May 31, #25 on June 5, #24 on June 8, and #26 on June 13. There was no detection capability and ENL from June 13 until July 28, when antennas 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 were reinstalled.
  4. 2011: Antennas 3, 5, 6 lost power Jan. 19, antennas 2 and 4 have high noise, antenna 1 has intermittent high noise. Antennas 1,2, and 4 not reading tags due to high noise on Jan. 27. Antennas 3, 5, and 6 were replaced on Feb. 10, and the noise was reduced on antennas 1, 2, and 4. Periods of high noise occurred during May. Antennas 3 and 6 not operational as of May 23; antenna 5 not operational on June 13. Antennas 3, 5, and 6 replaced on September 1. Site down from October 5-11. Antenna 1 lost power from October 27-December 6.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

Short periods of time in which antennas were active. Shelby calculated efficiencies starting in 12/13: 49.8% (SE 10.1%), 100% (no SE), 100% (no SE). Doesn’t appear that antennas being down affected it.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

The description indicates that this site is highly influenced by river stage. Shelby calculated detection efficiencies in 12/13 and 13/14 of 65% (SE 6.5%) and 41.6% (SE 9.8%), respectively. So yes, I think we should look into annual detection efficiencies, but I also don’t think that there is a directional trend/regime shift/multiple eras. According to PTAGIS, there were no upstream sites prior to August 2015. So how did Shelby calculate detection efficiencies in 12/13 and 13/14 for HRM?

HRM description from PTAGIS:

An instream interrogation system consisting of 2 antenna arrays located at the mouth of the Hood River. The antennas are against the west side jetty just inside the bar where the Hood River meets the Columbia River. The upstream array is comprised of five 20 foot antennas covering a total of 100 feet from shore. The downstream array is comprised of two 20 foot antennas that extend 40 feet from shore. The antenna arrays cover approximately 3/4 the stream width at low water conditions and a half of the stream at bank full. The transceiver is a IS1001-MTS and power is provided by solar panels charging a battery bank. Interrogation data is submitted several times a week via cellular modem.

HRM operational history notes from PTAGIS
  1. 2015: Antenna 1 down April 15 - May 11. Antennas 2 and 3 down April 15 - June 5. All 3 upstream antennas replaced June 5 and new antenna added to downstream array.
  2. 2014: Site down September 30-October 27 for installation of new antennas and MTS transceiver.
  3. 2012: First year of operations. Site down a few times in November and December.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

Nothing significant in site operational history. Shelby calculated detection efficiencies at IR1 for 11/12 through 14/15 - some fluctuation, between 84% and 100%, also variation between wild and hatchery populations.

IR1 description from PTAGIS:

In-stream detection system consisting of a single array located in the lower Imnaha River. The array (IR1) located at river km 7 (N 45.761162, W -116.750658) consists of four 20 foot Biomark flat panel antennas that span the entire river at base flow. IR1 is operated by the Integrated Status and Effectiveness Project (ISEMP) cooperators Nez Perce Tribe and Quantitative Consultants, Inc. and was installed for continuous monitoring on December 3, 2010. The array includes ISEMP standard site monitoring equipment including: air and water temperature probes, and a water pressure transducer to monitor stream level. Electrical power is provided by a solar/propane hybrid thermal electric generator and remote communication provided by a satellite modem.

IR1 operational history notes from PTAGIS
  1. 2011: High noise levels from January 11 - March 10.
IR2 description from PTAGIS:

In-stream detection system consisting of a single array located in the lower Imnaha River. The array (IR2) located at river km 10 (N 45.742839 W -116.764563) consists of one 10 foot and four 20 foot Biomark flat panel antennas that span the entire river at base flow. IR2 is operated by the Integrated Status and Effectiveness Project (ISEMP) cooperators Nez Perce Tribe and Quantitative Consultants, Inc. and was installed for continuous monitoring in November 2010. The array includes ISEMP standard site monitoring equipment including: air and water temperature probes, and a water pressure transducer to monitor stream level. Electrical power is provided by a solar/propane hybrid thermal electric generator and remote communication provided by a satellite modem.

IR2 operational history notes from PTAGIS

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

Yes, when the site moved in 2017. However, there are also lots of outages/issues in 2010-2014.

Two eras:

  1. 2009-7/31/2017
  2. 8/1/2017-present
LMR description from PTAGIS:

LMR is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site on the Methow River. When first installed with a single row of six antennas, it was located near the WDFW Miller Hole access site at about river kilometer 3. In December 2010, a second row of six antennas was added to the site. In August 2017, the site was relocated 5 kilometers upstream and the two FS1001M transceivers were replaced with a single Biomark/QST QuBe controller. The site currently consists of two rows of antennas, with each row nearly spanning the wetted width of the channel during base flows. Each row consists of six 20-foot HDPE antennas, installed in flat-plate configuration. Each antenna is powered by a Biomark IS1001 (ACN) and the ACNs are connected to a Biomark/QST QuBe controller. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The site is powered by a thermoelectric generator. LMR has remote communication abilities provided by a cellular modem. A submersible pressure transducer and temperature probe sensor are also installed to provide environmental condition data collection.

LMR operational history notes from PTAGIS
  1. 2017: Site moved 5 km upstream and both Mux transceivers were replaced with a QuBE/IS1001 setup Start and end dates based on timer tags.
  2. 2014: Data lost from B antennas April 23-28. Data lost from A antennas May 6-8. Data lost from B antennas May 17-27. Site down from July 17-September 3 due to wildfire.
  3. 2012: Multiple periods when one or more antennas were not functioning or data was lost. Check event log for details.
  4. 2011: Array A1-A6, which had been disabled since Dec. 15, 2010, was restored on January 4, 2011. Array C1-C6 was brought back online on March 4. Site down Apr. 8 - Apr. 9. Antenna B3 stopped working on May 15. Antennas B4-B6 stopped working on May 22. Antennas A4-A6 stopped working on May 24. Antenna A3 stopped working on June 4. Antennas A1 and B2 stopped working on June 7. Only antennas A2 and B1 functioning as of June 7. Antennas A1, A3, A4, A5, B2, B3, B4, B5 reinstalled September 27. All antennas, except A6 and B6, installed and operational as of 1400 September 27.
  5. 2010: Refer to the LMR event log for details about individual antenna outages between January 1 and June 21. The entire site was out of service between June 21 and August 23. A second array was installed on Dec. 2, immediately below the original array. The original (A0) array failed on Dec. 14 and the new array (B0) failed on Dec. 15.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

There are some odd things in the event log about noise, but no directional/era changes. Should calculate annual detection efficiencies and see if there are significant changes.

OKL description from PTAGIS:

OKL is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site at RKM 24.9 on the mainstem Okanogan River, upstream of Chiliwist area in Okanogan County. The site consists of two rows of antennas, with each row spanning the wetted width of the channel during base flows. Each row consists of six 20-foot PVC antennas, installed in flat-plate configuration. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW and CCT. The site is powered by a thermoelectric generator. OKL has remote communication abilities provided by a cellular modem and Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger system. A submersible pressure transducer and temperature probe sensors are also installed to provide environmental condition data collection.

OKL operational history notes from PTAGIS
  1. 2014: Several unexplained gaps in data collection during January and March.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

There has been a lot of change with this site, and long periods of inactivity as well as multiple shorter periods. Should calculate annual percentages and investigate. Shelby calculated detection efficiencies for 07/07 through 14/15, with gap for 08/09 due to data loss. 06/07 and 07/08 detection efficiencies were above 96%; 09/10 onward there seems to be a drop all the way down to around 60% in 14/15.

Three potential eras:

  1. August 2020-present
  2. 2005-1/8/2009
  3. Inactive: 1/8/2009-9/10/2009
LTR description from PTAGIS:

LTR is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site at RKM 2.5 on the Tucannon River. The current configuration installed August 2020 consists of three rows of antennas. The upstream row consists of 2 20-foot HDPE antennas, the middle row consists of 2 20 foot HDPE antennas and 1 10 foot PVC antenna, the bottom row consists of 2 HDPE antennas, installed in flat-plate configuration. Each antenna is powered by a Biomark Multiplexing Reader IS1001-MC master controller. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The electrical power at the site is provided by 6 200 watt solar panels. Data currently will be downloaded by Biomark through a satellite modem. No environmental monitors are installed at this time. This site has variously consisted of one or two groups of arrays, about a kilometer apart, located near the mouth of the Tucannon River. From Oct. 2005 until April 2008 the downstream array group consisted of two tandem “log” antenna arrays that spanned the low-water channel above the boat ramp. The upstream array group was located at an abandoned railroad bridge abutment upstream of Hwy 261 on the Tucannon River downstream from Starbuck. The upstream array (A0) operated from Oct. 2005 until January 2009. Its various configurations included both pass-through and pass-over antennas. A single array (C0) with six PVC pipe antennas powered by a QST Qube was re-deployed above the boat ramp in Sept. 2009. Responsibility for site operations transferred from USFWS to WDFW on Jan. 7, 2010. The C0 in-stream array was relocated below the Hwy 261 bridge on Sept. 29, 2010. The Qube was replaced with a Biomark IS1001-MC November 2018.

LTR operational history notes from PTAGIS
  1. 2011: Site down from February 24-28 and April 3-12. High flows caused various antennas to lose power or have high noise throughout the season - see event logs for details. Three antennas were replaced August 16, but not fully functional until August 29.
  2. 2010: Data collected prior to Jan. 7 were lost due to an equipment failure. No data are available between Jan. 19 and Feb. 4 due to a complete loss of power and failure of the lithium battery. No data are available between Feb. 16-18, Apr. 16-21, or May 10-24 due to loss of buffered records. No data available between Sept. 1-20; propane ran out. Detectors were moved upstream near the Hwy 261 bridge on Sept. 29, 2010. No data between Dec. 1-13 due to a TEG malfunction.
  3. 2009: The original A0 MUX array was washed out on Jan. 8, 2009. The downstream antennas in the Tucannon River (identified by transceiver C0) were reinstalled on September 10. These antennae replace the upstream array (transceiver A0) that was blown out. The configuration of the new antenna array is as follows, looking downstream: Beginning on the left hand streambank is C1, C2, and C3 (C3 is approximately mid stream). Slightly downstream (approx. 2 feet) beginning mid stream and going towards the right hand streambank are C4, C5 and C6. There is overlap of C2 and C3 with C4 and C5. Data collected between Nov. 22, 2009 and Jan. 7, 2010 were lost due to an equipment failure.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

There’s nothing really concerning at the TMF site. Shelby calculated detection efficiencies in some years, and they varied a lot, from 54% to 100%. But also seems like there wasn’t a ton of data.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

There are three different river mouth arrays that are used, depending on the timeframe:

  1. ORB: 4/15/2005-5/4/2015
  2. PRV: 9/25/2012-4/8/2019
  3. WWB: 4/11/2019-present

Shelby calculated detection efficiencies at ORB 07/08-11/12, PRV 12/13-14/15. ORB does seem to have lower, with high SE, detection efficiencies. PRV has generally higher detection efficiencies.

For each of these sites, there are no major shifts in equipment besides a few periods where antennas were down to be aware of.

WWB description from PTAGIS:

The site consists of two 50 ft wide floating barges with twelve 6 ft verticle fins. Each pair of fins act as a single antenna, detection for each antenna is the full length of the fin (6 ft) and 3 ft fore and aft of each fin. Barge will be held in place by single 250lb Danforth anchor. Electronics are powered by battery and solar, cellular modems are used for remote access. Site was initially configured with transceiver and antenna IDs opposite to PTAGIS convention, but was corrected on May 16, 2019.

WWB operational history notes from PTAGIS

Site was down 2/10/2020-2/28/2020 due to flooding.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

Shelby calculated detection efficiencies for 11/12-14/15. Varied from 53.8% in 11/12 to 85% in 14/15, with single digit SEs in each year. Doesn’t seem to be directional changes.

LWE description from PTAGIS:

LWE is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site at RKM 2.77 on the Wenatchee River. The site consists of two rows of antennas, with each row nearly spanning the wetted width of the channel during base flows. Each row consists of six 20-foot PVC antennas, installed in flat-plate configuration. Each antenna is powered by a Biomark IS1001 (ACN) and the ACNs are connected to a Biomark IS1001-MC (MTS). The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The site is powered by a thermoelectric generator. LWE has remote communication abilities provided by a cellular modem and Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger. A submersible pressure transducer and temperature probe sensors are also installed to provide environmental condition data collection.

LWE operational history notes from PTAGIS

There are a number of short outages, but nothing too long term.

Is there reason to believe that the detection efficiency of the antennas at the river mouth site may have changed over time?

Shelby calculated detection efficiencies for 07/08-14/15. Efficiencies generally very high. The arrays are in the three ladders at Prosser, so we would expect them to have higher detection efficiencies than the in stream arrays.

PRO description from PTAGIS:

This site monitors the (three) fish ladders and juvenile sampling facility at Prosser Dam. Each ladder has two antennas installed at the counting window. The juvenile sampling facility has antennas installed downstream of the separator and at the exit from the sample room.

PRO operational history notes from PTAGIS

Short periods where individual antennas were down, but no major changes.
